Just uploaded a series of Batanes pics

Batanes - Trapping Tatus, 10 Originally uploaded by estan.

Whew! I’ve just uploaded over 54 Batanes photos that I took 2 years ago. Not really that I was inspired, I’m just uploading this as a sort of portfolio that a lady from a Singapore magazine was asking, until I will be able to set up my own portfolio site. Hehehe… I just hope that I can make it into their magazine. The whole set can be viewed in my flickr account HERE. It has around 70 photos in all including those that I’ve uploaded a few months ago as part of my photoblog series.

The photo above, left, shows tatus or a coconut crab that is a delicacy in Batanes. Once steamed, its abdomen yields a very delectable soupy matter that’s one of a kind.

Series 16: Batanes

Batanes photos taken last year during a week’s vacation at Binary Silver already started. Consisting of 16 images showing the unique landscape, architecture and people of this far flung, yet, lovely islands that are idyllic, mysterious and at the same time captivating. A week’s journey is just not more than enough.
